It’s worth noting that Bergen sits on the southwestern coast so if you’re planning a trip to Norway to see the Northern Lights over winter, you’ll need to head north instead.

The new Bergen route isn’t the first of Norwegian’s offerings from Manchester to Norway as the airline already offers direct routes to Oslo, Stavanger and Stockholm.

When the new flights launch in October, it will mean a total of nine weekly flights to Scandinavia from Manchester for the airline.

Magnus Maursund, SVP commercial Short Haul at Norwegian said: “Norwegian’s new flight to Bergen from Manchester will allow passengers in the North West to take advantage of our affordable fares all while enjoying our award-winning complimentary Wi-Fi and modern comfortable cabin on new state-of the-art aircraft.”
